Actually, it shows transmission handle:

It's quite common thing found in almost any car.
IMO transmission already has good brand identity and there's no point in
changing it.

I think it's worse than just that the icon doesn't convey the program's
purpose: it looks way too much like a flatbed scanner. I appreciate the
difficulty in crafting a descriptive visual representation of a BT
client, but IMHO an icon should at least be sufficiently unique so as to
avoid mistaking
Marking as "WontFix" for a handful of reasons:
1. There are no graphical artists upstream.
2. It's upstream's opinion that this is an impossible task. BitTorrent
is an abstract concept that doesn't fit well into a 20x20 icon. Would
one use up and down arrows? And, does that really make any mor

If we're trying to communicate the app's implications to new users, we
definitely need to show that the application uploads as well as
downloads.

Icon for Transmission does not suggest the program's purpos
First, i considered something like a web to show that it uses a p2p
network, but then i thought if we're changing the icon, we're probably
only helping people who don't even know the implications of any of
that-- so something even simpler like a download icon would make more
sense http://images.goo
(I'm an upstream dev)
I agree with the basic suggestion this ticket makes, but have no idea
what kind of icon to use that would intrinsically say "BitTorrent
client". If someone were to submit an icon that did this, I'd consider
using it to follow the HiG, but IMO it's an impossible task.
FWIW:
Sorry, Humanity isn't going to fix this problem. As stated before, there
are tons of apps that have icons not related to their purpose. If a
'fix' is going to come, it has to come from upstream. Good luck :D

I agree that the current icon isn't the best as it doesn't mean anything at the
first glance. But it can be said for other icons from your screenshot - Ekiga,
Firefox and Pidgin all has icons that has nothing to do with their purpose.
Ekiga and Pidgin are replaced in Karmic by Empathy that has a
BitTorrent is a fairly abstract concept to embed in an icon, though.
